"Unfortunately, yes, when I was in college," Dingell told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball during an interview "Rising."

Dingell was asked about the allegations from Julie Swetnick, who in a sworn declaration released on Wednesday wrote of attending parties where gang rapes took place. Swetnick also said Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had been present at the parties, and she accused him of overly aggressive behavior toward women, including groping.

"This is where we need to take deep breaths. I think we should be having an FBI investigation. We need to get what the facts are," Dingell said.

Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the allegations, calling them something out of the "Twilight Zone."

Swetnick is the third woman to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. Kavanaugh has denied all the allegations.

Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to make a public allegation against Kavanaugh, are testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
